Worked nearly every day since Christmas. No paycheck.

Savings and my wife's job will almost certainly tide us through, but I feel for my single, entry-level co-workers. They're getting pretty stressed, and with our positions being required to report to work, can't even go looking for a temp job or something.

Are you wishing for me to quit? I stopped practicing law, took a pay cut and waited over a year to get this job after

1/15/19 12:45pm
